Shireroth Elegible for FMF World Cup Hosting 2011

[Tarekseev]

I don't think there needs to be any message here but FMF have just recently allowed WMFA members to enter the bid to host the FMF World Cup for 2011. I'm guessing this is probably a message going to the Kaiser. With the creation of the PSL, I think that we have a good chance of bringing it to Shireroth. What do you guys think?

To see the thread go HERE. As you can see Shireroth are in the eligible list and there are currently no bids.

Go for it. You can bid for it yourself, since this is something that should be handled by the Association in my opinion.

Requires Government permission first though, and even to bid, we need a few more teams as we only have 4 teams and venues at the moment.

[Malliki Tosha]

Well, I'm the Minister of Information and responsible for sports issues (I presume), and I give you permission. But yes, we do need more teams too.

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

There are two other reasonable sized stadiums in Asantelian, and others in what is traditionally Ynnraile. There will be more about them when I release information about the regional minor leagues in that area.

[Tarekseev]

Alright then. So our bid should consist of 8 stadiums or so. Here's our stadium listings at the moment:

- Shirekeep National Stadium, a soon to be built 90000 seater for the national team, Shirekeep
- Docklands Stadium, 32000 to be expanded 45000 should we get the bid - home to Imperial United FC, Shirekeep/Docklands (Venue would be named either Goldshire or Docklands due to the stadium above taking priority as Shirekeep's venue)
- JHI Stadium, 18500 to be expanded to min. 25000 - home to JHILK, Avakair
- Haunted Park, 45000 no expansion needed - home to Mortis Mercatoria FC, Mortis Mercatoria
- Midnight Sun Dome, 16000 to be expanded to 20000 - home to Vankarha Phyyta Raikoth, Mithoth

We need 3 more stadiums at least and it would require big work as well , then again automatic qualification.

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

I have plans for a 12000 capacity stadium to be constructed at Naltha Valley in Western Asantelian to house one of the double-A/triple-A teams as a county project, but that is probably too small and too out of the way.

JHI itself is funding another stadium, however, at Kingsgate, Goldendown, that will easily house 30000, as well as funding expansion of JHI Stadium to a capacity of 42500.

[Malliki Tosha]

MMFC could provide a stadium in Fatehpur Sikri for an affiliate team in the Western Brookshire Regional League (could start something like that perhaps).

[Tarekseev]

Capacity?

[Malliki Tosha]

What capacity is needed? It's not as if there is any effort in building a stadium.

[Tarekseev]

I say 20000 minimum we would get away with, the lowest in this year's FMFWC is 26000 I believe.

[Malliki Tosha]

I'll make it a 25'000 seater then.

[Tarekseev]

Hold on, shouldn't we wait to see if other teams apply first?

[Malliki Tosha]

Sure.

[Tarekseev]

still waiting for Cerce to apply
